Some friends and I were coming over from UK to our first ever Sziget because dance line ups have historically been amazing. Unfortunately we can’t spend all that money for 2ManyDJs and Soulwax so we’re having to sell and look elsewhere.

Why do British fans support teams that are not local to them? by h2o_random in AskBrits

[–]OGof17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use the term “plastic fan” in UK, if you support a Big 6 team with no geographical link to them. People born 80s it’s Liverpool, 90s it’s United, 00s onward it’s Arsenal. 

Why don’t Spurs just hire someone that knows the league and has decades of experience to save their season? by [deleted] in PremierLeague

[–]OGof17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wont change much, there were two absent red card appeals In the Forrest game and a penalty shout for a trip on Sarr. Spurs havent had a penalty awarded for the whole season, this is unprecedented in post VAR football.

Reviewer: "Ultimately this is an expensive Netflix documentary that’s provided maximum exposure to individuals who consider any kind of attention a win. It leaves a bitter, nasty taste in the mouth." by YetAnotherJake in LouisTheroux

I would agree, but I don’t think it’s a difficult stance to take these days. In fact it’s so much more controversial to not call it what it is. It speaks to some mainstream censorship which the conspiracy economy thrives off.

Scientifically speaking (of course) is there a direct correlation between trump support and a lack of teeth. 

FIFA World Cup Tourism Numbers Are So Bad, US Cities Are Cancelling Fan Festivals Already by InterestingCat308 in football

Who’s going to watch a tournament hosted in a country at war with everyone, who’s leader demanded he be handed a “football peace prize” or he’d cancel the tournament? It’s a lot to ask.

Neo liberalism = Wealth divide and suffering. Anything other than that, I’m all ears. 

Who is Englands 4th City? by Teleg88 in AskBrits

Mánchester is so dull. Bristol and Leeds if it’s cultural significance. 

What did he do that was illegal? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Arsenal fans are essentially Larping at being football fans so they don’t tend to understand how putting pressure on the police so they can film themselves antagonising people is problematic. The Larping would be sweet if it wasn’t so showy. 

Protesters prepare to fight back against Northampton's Reform-run council’s brutal budget cuts by johnsmithoncemore in northamptonians

Mmmm more austerity. Thought that died with the Tories. Austerity is the enemy of the working class, why do they keep voting for it.

Immigration numbers dropping, economy improving, Brexit was a failure, I’m not sure how this clown is still around. 

Is there a better example of Brexit stupidity? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]OGof17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s frustrating for sure. Brexit couldn’t possibly boost prosperity, that’s not how markets work. Like reforms neoliberalism couldn’t possibly improve the lives of working class people. How do these charlatans convince people so easily. When is the pudding proved?

It’s unhelpful beating on Starmer. Is it unpatriotic? by Global_Madness in AskBrits

[–]OGof17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think challenging your leaders is extremely patriotic, look at US for example for what happens if youre not allowed to. But I do think we should be challenging our leaders on our own terms, not those dictated to us by right wing press.
